Iran Warns US of Retaliation Over Reported Plans to Resume Strikes

In late September 2026, Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said it had been informed that the United States plans to resume military strikes against Tehran. The command warned that if attacked, Iran would respond without limitations, including against US ships in the Indian Ocean and US bases, and told regional countries that supporting such action would bring painful attacks.

Iran also said the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed for now. A senior Iranian commander said the defeated enemy must leave the region in disgrace.
